Ayotzinapa - The Mexican Federal Police were involved

A report by two researchers, one from Mexico and one from U.C. Berkely has made a major connection. They demonstrate that the Mexican Federal Police were significantly involved in the murder and disappearance of the students in Ayotzinapa and Iguala as protestors have long claimed. This report reveals that the Mexican government has lied from the beginning.

At present the report has not received attention in the U.S., except on Huffington Report. It has been published by Proceso in Mexico, a legitimate news magazine.

Mexico's
federal police collaborated with local forces in the September attack on 43
students whose disappearance and presumed killings have led to mass protests in
the country, according to an investigative report published Sunday in the
Mexican magazine Proceso.

Federal
authorities also likely tortured key witnesses who offered critical testimony
for an investigation by the Mexican attorney general's office into the
disappearances, the lead reporter for the Proceso story told The Huffington
Post.

The
Proceso investigation is based on leaked government documents that are not
publicly available, as well as a report by the state government of Guerrero,
where the students' college was located and where they were attacked. The
magazine published an abbreviated
version of its story on Saturday, as well as a newswire version
on Sunday. The full investigation was published Sunday in a print version of
the magazine, only available in Mexico.
